John Kendrick Bangs - Ambition

John Kendrick Bangs - Ambition

NO bay for me that critics may deny br In distant ages ; no position high br To win the others' envy, but a place br Among the men of service to my race. br br To earn the meed of praise that comes to one br Who sees at eve hi daily labor done, br And done so well no hostile eye can find br A flaw in it, or fault of any kind. br br To spread a note of cheer where'er I stray. br To lead the joyless to a brighter day. br To fill the hearts of sufFrers with a song. br To stand alway a sturdy foe to wrong. br br To win the love of those with whom I toil.
